I'm hoping that someone could clarify Debian policy for me?

I see that section 2.2.1 of Debian policy [1] indicates that a package in main
must not recommend a package outside of main. Does this only apply to the
package's control file and not to anything that the program displays while 
running?

Also, does this policy only apply to the fields specifically mentioned in
section 2.2.1 ("Pre-Depends", "Depends", "Recommends", "Build-Depends", or
"Build-Depends-Indep") or to all fields in the control file, including things
like "Suggests"?
